2010 Census begins Quality Assurance - WVPubcast.org
July 28, 2010 · The 2010 census isn’t over; a new phase of the count has begun. You might get a personal visit or a phone call from a census taker to check the accuracy of your information.
The Census Bureau calls it Quality Assurance and is asking for citizen support. Census spokesman Michael Bsharah says not every household will get a call or a visit, but it’s important that those who do verify their information.
Bsharah says field staff will also be looking for homes noted as vacant by the Census Bureau are in fact vacant.
"Census takers carry government issued ID cards and only those workers with the official black census bags will be making home visits," Bsharah says.
The census provides data for political re-districting and the appropriation of $400 billion in federal money.
